thanks....

Yes they allow DSLR and tripods. Make sure you make reservations online! You can't get in without a ticket. Reservations are filled until November if you don't have one already but they release a few for the day of visits. Reservations are free.

Also be prepared to walk through a metal detector and place your bag, belt, jacket in a bin to be scanned like in the airport as well. Security is very tight at the memorial with numerous checkpoints scanning tour ticket. Once inside it is truely powerful and peaceful. I suggest going around 6pm. It is beautiful right after sunset with the illuminated foot prints of the original twin towers.

-Omar-Flickr , 5∞pxPhaseone 645DF+...because only the best will make up for my lack of skills. Beginners worry about gear, professionals worry about skill and masters worry about light

1. I shoot everything in raw2. Import everything to LR33. Cull/remove unusable photos (a lot haha)4. what I do first is crop align and lens correction... I tend to have a lot of distortion coz I mostly use an UWA Lens5. then the usual exposure adjustment, I always avoid using contrast and clarity now, and tend to brighten the scene and use the Black slider6. Use GND/ND and brush to adjust or even out the scene7. then add a bit of vibrance then play with specific color sliders8. lastly do some sharpening and noise if necessary...9. export w/ watermark or go to PS.

I only go to PS for the following... 1. to use mask ( I am bad at this haha)2. to clone out a lot of things ( I am learning)3. to blend exposure of 2 shots if the filters can't compensate for the DR4. lately, to correct massive distortion like my SM shot

so basically that's it, after doing my thing on PS, I tend to save the PS file back to LR then export it from there too after all that if I am still not satisfied I either reedit it again from scratch or try to do a little bit of everything again haha

anyway here's another shot from the helipad on my sister's condo in Mandaluyong

what the heck!! I never complained post all the moon shots you want... batukan kita eh just joking

Just warning you guys it is very difficult to get a straight on shot when you have zero space to work with at the 9/11 memorial with the amount of people all trying to get shots with their phones and point and shoots. Also forced to use iso 3200 due to no tripod I tried as best as i could:
